[QUOTE="nzdreamer55, post: 1055428, member: 106790"] You just said the magic words! Of course I would love some help. I am up to using what ever solution someone is willing to recommend. I am not a computer person by training only hobby so I get lost very easily. If you followed the link before, you will see that I need stuff spelled out. I can follow instructions, just not innuendo. So where do we begin? If you have seen my system specs I think that they are UTD. I am worried about moving up to MP 1.6 as many of the plugin are still touchy. Maybe in 3-6 months? I have a working MP now and don't want to break it as that upsets the family and then I have to put off other things. I usually work 12-14hr days 4-5 days a week so not a lot happens on these days (small things can happen), but then on a day off I usually can do 3-4 hours at a time. So I would love to have TV watching and recording capibilities with my MP system using a STB and hauppauge colossus. I can tell you that I don't think the HDMI output on the STB likes the hauppauge colossus and thus I know that the component works. I can even get the TV to work through MP now except I need to manually change the channel on the STB. I am very familiar with team viewer and have it set up on the HTPC machine. So either we can continue this here or maybe PM. Let me know and thanks in advance for the help. -S [/QUOTE]
